Classic Drogba game... I curse him for missing golden chances, complaining incessantly to the refs, and limping around the pitch rather than tracking back to defend....only to sing his praises when he single-handedly puts the team on his back and carries them to victory.

I'm still not a huge fan of Grant. I think he is gone unless Chelsea win the Premier League and/or the Champions League.

Arse will have to improve their finishing (ie. Van Persie) if they expect to take points at the Bridge!

I'll admit that I had Maradona thoughts, too.

Regarding that little putz Mascherano, the first yellow was tough, but had someone read him the papers all week, he had to know it was coming. And, between that call and the 2nd yellow, you could read his lips as he told the ref to Fuck Off a couple dozen times.

I hope Bennett and the other refs keep it up. I'm sick of seeing them get crowded by whiners after every hard call.
